D'Oyleys Farm

Понравилось: Just about everything. The location is beautiful. It's hard to believe it's so close to Oxford. The pitch sites are really big. We were on pitch B and could barely see the other pitches or hear anyone else who was camping on site. It feels very isolated. We loved hearing and watching birds, including owls, red kites and the many pheasants.

Не понравилось: It's definitely not a deal breaker, but obviously emptying the compost loos isn't a pleasant job. It's actually prety quick and easy. For me it's offset by the convenienceof having a loo on your own pitch, but it's important people know this is part of the deal before arriving!

Понравилось: The location - pitch space was massive, couldn't see neighbours from the coop, or hear them! Had our own access point to the River. Very peaceful and tranquil. I want to stay there every week! The river - instructions on how to get down to the River and where the deep spots were are documented in our accommodation. Water was mild. Didn't get bit by a mozzy! The owner - my booking was cancelled at short notice due to a glitch on the system. I spoke to Fiona who apologised, explained, and rectified the situation very quickly. Welcome email - had a useful list of everything we may need for our stay. Welcome pack - logs, firelighters, quality sponge, bin liners, washing up liquid all included. The coop aslos had most utensils (except a spatula) and tea bags! Neighbours- the other campers were very friendly and polite. The map - there is a map at the farm showing where to go. You need to go offroading to get to the campsite. Easy to navigate. Would be helpful for the map to be attached to the welcome email. The checkout time - 12pm. Footpaths to the pub Kid friendly - kayaks, rope swings, the plot on the coop had a gate which can shut to stop kids running in the river.

Не понравилось: That my original booking was double booked! Farm shop - we were excited to bring some meat home on Saturday. Website states the shop is open Saturdays. But when we arrived it was closed with a sign saying "click and collect only". Would be helpful to have that info before hand so we could preorder. Locating the kayaks - it wasn't clear where the kayaks lived. We called the landline on farm website and left a message. In the end we went on a mini adventure and found them ourselves. They are located in the holt. The kayaks- we did have so much fun with these. But they are small! I think for children. We struggled getting in and out of them. Emptying the compost loo - but it is a sacrifice I am willing to make as the stay was wonderful.

Понравилось: Very pretty spot, and the farm is very welcoming -- Fiona rode her horse down to say hello and they leave out a useful box of firelighters, wood, washing up liquid, etc, for your arrival. Pitches well spaced -- we couldn't hear the lads in the pitch down the field from us even though we discovered they were playing music when we walked past. There is a wonderful spot by the river with kayaks, a rope swing, a ladder into a tree, etc., and a great cabin set up for rainy days. The compost loos were clean and a good system.

Понравилось: Peaceful, great walks and the river is perfect. Don’t want too put this in the dislike section but if it was my site, I would trim back the bushes/brambles in a very small area next to ALL pitches so river access and views can be had from each pitch. Certainly not a dislike though, more of a “would” like. Great location, very dark at night, stars were amazing, not used to that living in London. Weather was perfect. Thanks

Не понравилось: Nothing really, if I had to be fussy I would say pitch E was a little too close to F but definitely didn’t ruin the weekend. Didn’t hear our neighbours but would of been nice if we couldn’t see them either.

От менеджера: Thank you for your lovely review and delighted you had a great time. I know rain isnt much fun when camping but as a farm we were so pleased to get some! look forward to welcoming you back again next year.

Понравилось: We had a wonderful time staying in the Coop. Lovely off grid cabin. Simple but cosy. Beautiful location by the river. We loved swimming every day and it was very peaceful and relaxing.Especially in the evening sitting by the firepit listening to owls and the sounds of the river. We don't drive and it was very easy to get to the farm by bus from Oxford. There is also a lovely walk into the village along the public footpath.
